cazack Posted 19 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 19 July , 2014 Hi again all just a quick question in regards to a service number. I have a medal awarded to a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers and the prefix on his service number is TR5 / 1400 Does the TR5 / mean he was in the training reserve 5th Battalion? regards and thanks Caz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrockway Posted 20 July , 2014 Share Posted 20 July , 2014 Hi again all just a quick question in regards to a service number. I have a medal awarded to a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers and the prefix on his service number is TR5 / 1400 Does the TR5 / mean he was in the training reserve 5th Battalion? regards and thanks Caz No! The TR5 number is the District. See the mother site here: http://www.1914-1918.net/training_reserve.htm and find all the Northumberland Fusiliers rows. You'll quickly narrow down some potential NF training battalions for your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
